in florida, the percentage of hispanic voters went up to 17% from 14% in 2008. the composition changed and it has grown from what it was just a few years ago with more puerto ricans making up the hispanic vote in florida. democrats rule to keep their edge in the overall electorate, a shock to many people that the overall partisan composition of the electorate looked so similar to 2008, with democrats holding a six. age. the other big demographic story of tuesday's election was women. our first poll after the first debate, when romney did so well and obama did so poorly, showed the gender gap almost closing entirely. it had to be a shock for a lot of democrats to look that old. there were other polls that showed the same thing. romney really make gains among women after that first debate. in part, he was seen as a little bit more moderate. the issues that came up in that debate, there very few social issues coming up in that debate. but by election day, the gender gap had not only gone back to normal, it probably went bigger than normal. women favored obama by 11
